Too Much Spam- What to Do?

[YOUR KONG]

there should be a mod where you can ask people a question automatically.
'an sm-57 is a type of mic_______' simple enough that any human could answer it.

good idea, yet hardcore spammers would just google it.

yeah, literally there is an average of one new member per hour. and i'm not exaggerating. so i check my mail after a while and there are 3 or 4.
annoying but easier than finding the spam post later.

So there's actually real people posting these things? I always assumed it was some elaborate scriptbot.

Man, what a job THAT would be...

Your hard work and diligence are much appreciated. And I'm not being my usual wiseacre self here, I'm serious.

there's both. but yeah, there are actually real people too.
and it's so easy to weed them out. you should see some of these usernames.
the best is when the email comes to approve their membership then another email comes right away saying their email address bounces.
makes life a little easier. delete. delete.
